Slamming on the brakes in a moving car makes a passenger move forward against his seat because of what?
The first law applies in this case. The car and its contents are moving at a constant rate and everything is fine. When suddenly the brake is applied, since the human is not tied to the seat with nuts and bolts, it tends to keep moving forward at the same speed that the car was travelling before the brake was applied. Since it is rather unwise to tie the human to the seat with nuts and bolts, the next best thing would be to provide a restraining agent to minimize the forward motion of the body and yet give him freedom of movement to operate the vehicle. The buttocks of the driver are a bit more rigidly fixed to the seat (relatively speaking) than the upper torso. The whole body continue to move at the speed at which the car was travelling before the brake was applied, but the upper torso moves forward farther and faster. The shoulder belt tries to minimize this speed lest the driver hit the steering column. The lap belt provides the same function to the lower portion of the body.
What else can I help you with?
When a train suddenly moves forward the passenger standing in the compartment tends to fall backward?
Yes--because of Newton's first law, the passenger wishes to stay in its constant state of motion, which is standing still in this case. Hence, when the train starts to move forward, the passenger will want to stay at the point he/she was and will fall backwards.
When a moving bus suddenly stop the passenger jerking forward on which law defined here?
The passenger jerking forward when a bus suddenly stops can be explained by Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the law of inertia. This law states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force, such as the sudden stop of the bus which causes the passenger to continue moving forward.
Which of newton's laws explain how a walking person moves forward by pushing backward?
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a person pushes backward against the ground while walking, the ground exerts an equal and opposite force forward on the person, propelling them forward.
What force is responsible for a tennis ball moving forward after it gets hit by a tennis racket?
The ball keeps moving forward because of its momentum, which is not a force.
Does currency appreciate or depreciate if the forward rate increases?
If the forward rate increases, it indicates that the currency will depreciate in the future. This is because a higher forward rate implies that the currency will be worth less in the future compared to the present.
What happens to the forward motion of a passenger in a head-on auto accident?
When the vehicle coems to a sudden stop the passenger's forward motion continues until something stops it - either the seat-belt (the fabric of which stretches slightly to absorb the force, and from which the passenger is thrown back against their seat by a 'recoil'), or the windscreen. If it is the windscreen which stops the passenger's forward motion, the impact usually breaks the windscreen (and some of the passenger's bones) and the passenger may continue their forward motion by going through the glass. Otherwise the impact reaction on the passenger may well be enough to snap their neck and kill them.
When a train suddenly moves forward the passenger standing in the compartment tends to fall backward?
Yes--because of Newton's first law, the passenger wishes to stay in its constant state of motion, which is standing still in this case. Hence, when the train starts to move forward, the passenger will want to stay at the point he/she was and will fall backwards.
Where is the resistors on a 2001 Malibu?
If you are refering to the blower resistor, it is under the passenger side of the dash, forward of the blower motor, butt up against the firewall. Tech JK -------------------------
A passenger standing in a fully loaded bus which is at rest tends to move backward when the driver suddenly starts the bus?
The passenger tends to move backward when the bus starts because of inertia. The passenger's body wants to stay at rest due to Newton's First Law of Motion, so when the bus accelerates forward, the passenger appears to move backward relative to the bus.
How many are the passenger car models to look forward to launched by Toyota?
Toyota has a number of passenger cars launched this year.
How do you flip forward a Jeep Wrangler passenger seat?
There should be a finger strap about where the passengers right shoulder would be. Pull forward and the seat should disengage and fold forward.
What are the effects on a passenger riding in a car and getting into a crash without restraints?
the passenger will continues to move forward until he/she collides with the saet in front of him/her.
How do you replace a blend door on a Chevy Express?
depends on which door your talking about but its located under the dash pad on the passenger side up against firewall and requires you to remove the entire dash and tilt it forward and down
1998 Pontiac sunfire passenger seat stuck forward?
If the passenger seat to a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire is stuck forward, it's important to look for any interference between the track and rail. It is possible that when the seat moved forward the seat moved over the head of the mounting bolt.?æ
Why do passengers jumping out of a rapidly moving bus fall forward with his face downwards if he does not run forward?
When the passenger jumps out of a moving bus, they retain the forward momentum they had inside the bus, causing them to fall forward face-down due to inertia. This happens because their body continues to move at the same speed and direction as the bus until acted upon by an external force.
How does an airbag minimize injury injury in a collision?
AIR BAGS soften passenger's falls and prevent passenger's neck from breaking.They help absorb the kinetic energy of the upper body's forward motion when the vehicles forward progress is suddenly halted by impact.
Where is the passenger side kick panel on a 1995 Saturn SL1?
The passenger side kick panel is the panel on the passenger's right side that covers the "wall" under the glove box and just forward of the door.
